A fun March so far...

I figured it was about time that I post something. So much has happened in the last few weeks and I am disappointed in myself for not taking any pictures!

We headed out to Michigan during the first week in May. We had such a wonderful time and are already really missing the kids. This time we stayed at my mom and dads house. It was really nice to be there. It is just so relaxing for me there. I just let the kids run loose and they come see me when they are hungry or tired. Actually, it worked out great because I got a cold the third day into the trip and felt really bad. I cannot think of another circumstance that I would have been able just to lay around all day. It was really nice. We were really excited because we were able to make it for Madelynn's 8th birthday. With so many nieces and nephews, it's hard to make it to any parties. We were so happy. She is getting so big (My heart just aches talking about them). I just miss them so much!!!!! It was bittersweet leaving Michigan because we knew we were going to miss everyone so much but also really missed Robert. By the end of the trip the kids were starting to cry at the drop of a hat. I knew it was because the kids were missing their daddy.

This last weekend was pretty busy. Aubrey had her first soccer practice. It was only for 5 minutes because I got lost trying to find the field but it amazes me how positive Aubrey always is. It is just so easy to please her. She just melts my heart. Anyhow, she is so excited to be on the pink Dalmatians team. I look forward to seeing her in action. On Saturday Caleb had his first tball game. He was so nervous. He said that soccer was just so easy and that baseball is so difficult.He did great though. I'll get some pictures of his next game. That Saturday we went to a horse race up towards LA. It was an event for Rob's work. We had a blast. The kids liked seeing the horses and they won gift cards to Target. We even won an ipod! Robert was excited.

Sunday we went to Church for the first time in a few weeks! Yikes! When the kids woke up from their naps we picked Amy up and headed out to a movie with the kids. We had fun but the movie was a bit too scary. The review we looked at didn't disclose how intense "The Race to Witch Mountain" was. Caleb and Aubrey really enjoyed the time with the grown ups though. All in all, we had a great few weeks.

It has been a fun and crazy two weeks. Shaun and Melisa have moved to California and moved in with us for a month. It is going great! The kids are having a great time with their Aunt and Uncle. Melisa has been to Disneyland three times in nine days. She loves it just as much as her nieces and nephew. We are also really enjoying their dog Reagan. She is such a sweet dog.
Last weekend we all made it up to Big Bear to stay in our Aunt Kellie and Uncle Mike's cabin. It was wonderful. We met our cousins Jennifer, Cheyne and Caden. We really enjoyed their company. We went for dinner and sledding the next morning. Family is such a blessing.

Speaking of family, we head out to Michigan tomorrow night. We cannot wait! I feel like it has been so long since we have seen all of my nieces and nephews. I am having huge withdrawals. We are going to be staying for six days. I am excited we will be able to be there for Madelyn's birthday! It will be a fun and relaxing time. Melisa is coming with us and I am happy about that because Robert is staying in California. It will be nice to have the help on the plane. We will miss Robert though. He has planned a really busy schedule while we are gone to make the time go by faster.

We had a busy weekend. We went up to Studio City to see our friend Felisa's new apartment. It was really cute. She lives walking distance to fun shops and restaurants and she lives around the corner from the Brady Bunch house. We got to drive by it. How funny is that?! We spent the night in Simi Valley and went to Church with Rob and Leah. When we came home we had just enough time to hit the pool.
